Ӂенеза 33
1 Иаков а ридикат окий ши с-а уйтат, ши ятэ кэ Есау веня ку патру суте де оамень. Атунч а ымпэрцит копиий ынтре Лея, Рахела ши челе доуэ роабе.
[Then Jacob joined the rest of his family]. [Later that day] Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming, and there were 400 men with him. [Jacob was worried because of that], so he separated the children. He put Leah’s children with Leah, Rachel’s children with Rachel, and the two female slaves’ children with their mothers.
2 А пус ын фрунте роабеле ку копиий лор, апой пе Лея ку копиий ей ши ла урмэ пе Рахела ку Иосиф.
He put the two female slaves and their children in front. He put Leah and her children next. He put Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 Ел ынсушь а трекут ынаинтя лор ши с-а арункат ку фаца ла пэмынт де шапте орь, пынэ че с-а апропият де тот де фрателе сэу.
He himself went ahead of them all, and as he continued to approach his older brother, he prostrated himself with his face on the ground seven times.
4 Есау а алергат ынаинтя луй, л-а ымбрэцишат, и с-а арункат пе грумаз ши л-а сэрутат. Ши ау плынс.
But Esau ran to Jacob. He hugged him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him on the cheek. And they both cried.
5 Есау, ридикынд окий, а вэзут фемеиле ши копиий ши а зис: „Чине сунт ачея?” Ши Иаков а рэспунс: „Сунт копиий пе каре й-а дат Думнезеу робулуй тэу.”
Then Esau looked up and saw the women and the children. He asked, “Who are these people who are with you?” Jacob replied, “These are the wives and children that God has graciously/kindly given to me.”
6 Роабеле с-ау апропият ку копиий лор ши с-ау арункат ку фаца ла пэмынт.
Then the female slaves and their children came near and bowed in front of Esau.
7 Лея ши копиий ей, де асеменя, с-ау апропият ши с-ау арункат ку фаца ла пэмынт. Ын урмэ с-ау апропият Иосиф ши Рахела ши с-ау арункат ку фаца ла пэмынт.
Then Leah and her children came and bowed down. Finally Joseph and Rachel came near and bowed down.
8 Есау а зис: „Че ай де гынд сэ фачь ку тоатэ табэра ачея пе каре ам ынтылнит-о?” Ши Иаков а рэспунс: „Воеск сэ капэт тречере ку еа ынаинтя домнулуй меу.”
Esau asked, “What is the meaning of all the animals that I saw?” Jacob replied, “I am giving them to you, sir, so that you will feel good toward me.”
9 Есау а зис: „Еу ам дин белшуг; пэстрязэ, фрате, че есте ал тэу.”
But Esau replied, “My [younger] brother, I have enough animals! Keep for yourself the animals that you have!”
10 Ши Иаков а рэспунс: „Ну, те рог, дакэ ам кэпэтат тречере ынаинтя та, примеште дарул ачеста дин мына мя, кэч м-ам уйтат ла фаца та кум се уйтэ чинева ла Фаца луй Думнезеу, ши ту м-ай примит ку бунэвоинцэ.
But Jacob said, “No, please, if you feel good toward me, accept these gifts from me. You have greeted me very kindly. Seeing your smiling face assures me [that you have forgiven me]. It is like seeing the face of God!
11 Примеште деч дарул меу каре ць-а фост адус, фииндкэ Думнезеу м-а умплут де бунэтэць ши ам де тоате.” Астфел а стэруит де ел, ши Есау а примит.
Please accept these gifts that I have brought to you, because God has acted kindly toward me, and I still have plenty of animals!” Jacob kept on urging him to accept the animals, and finally he accepted them.
12 Есау а зис: „Хайдем сэ плекэм ши сэ порним ла друм; еу вой мерӂе ынаинтя та.”
Then Esau said, “Let’s continue traveling together, and I will show the road to you.”
13 Иаков й-а рэспунс: „Домнул меу веде кэ копиий сунт микшорь ши ам ой ши вачь фэтате; дакэ ле-ам сили ла друм о сингурэ зи, тоатэ турма ва пери.
Jacob [had no intention to go with Esau], but he said, “You know, sir, that the children are weak, and that I must take care of the female sheep and cows that are (sucking their mother’s milk/nursing their young). If I force them to walk fast for a long distance in just one day, the animals will all die.
14 Домнул меу с-о я ынаинтя робулуй сэу, ши еу вой вени ынчет пе урмэ, ла пас ку турма, каре ва мерӂе ынаинтя мя, ши ла пас ку копиий, пынэ вой ажунӂе ла домнул меу ын Сеир.”
You go ahead of me. I will lead the animals slowly, but I will walk as fast as the children and animals can walk. I will catch up with you in Seir, [in the land where the descendants of Edom live].”
15 Есау а зис: „Вряу сэ лас ку тине мэкар о парте дин оамений мей.” Ши Иаков а рэспунс: „Пентру че ачаста? Мь-ажунӂе сэ капэт тречере ынаинтя та, домнул меу!”
Esau said, “Then allow me to leave with you some of the men who came with me, [to protect you].” But Jacob replied, “(Why do that?/There is no need to do that!) [RHQ] The only thing that I want is for you to act friendly toward me.”
16 Ын ачеяшь зи, Есау а луат друмул ынапой ла Сеир.
So on that day Esau left to return to Seir.
17 Иаков а плекат май департе ла Сукот. Шь-а зидит о касэ ши а фэкут колибе пентру турме. Де ачея с-а дат локулуй ачелуя нумеле Сукот.
But [instead of going to Seir], Jacob and his family went to [a place called] Succoth. There he built a house for himself and his family, and built shelters for his livestock. That is the reason they named the place Succoth, [which means ‘shelters’].
18 Ла ынтоарчеря луй дин Падан-Арам, Иаков а ажунс ку бине ын четатя Сихем, ын цара Канаан, ши а тэбэрыт ынаинтя четэций.
[Some time later, ] Jacob and his family left Paddan-Aram [in Mesopotamia], and they traveled safely to the Canaan region. There they set up their tents in a field near Shechem city.
19 Партя де огор пе каре ышь ынтинсесе кортул а кумпэрат-о де ла фиий луй Хамор, татэл луй Сихем, ку о сутэ де кесита.
One of the leaders of the people in that area was named Hamor. Hamor had several sons. Jacob paid the sons of Hamor 100 pieces of silver for the piece of ground on which they set up their tents.
20 Ши аколо а ридикат ун алтар, пе каре л-а нумит Ел-Елохе-Исраел.
He built a stone altar there, and named it El-Elohe Israel, [which means ‘God, the God of Israel].’
